“I think the ecosystem is sleeping on the fact that it's uncomfortably close to a ceiling,” cautions the Ethereum co-founder.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is urging to increase Ethereum’s “blob count” — introduced during its Dencun upgrade — to scale the network further and enable layer-2 protocols to increase capacity.
In a discussion thread following its latest developer call, Buterin revealed that blob space is currently around 75% full, and changes need to be implemented via EIP-7623 to increase the blob count, stating:
Blob space refers to a specialized data storage area introduced by EIP-4844, also known as proto-danksharding, designed to improve the scalability of the network.
